Sorted, nice quick job.
Are the 1300 and 1600 head gaskets the same? I have a spare 1.3. If different i'll have to order another spare.

The bore is 1mm larger on the 1.6 but I'm not sure if the headgaskets reflect this? technically a 1.3 gasket would fit as everything else is the same.

Change of plan engine wise for this Sj now, picked up a 1.6 16v off Andy (cheers dude!) so that's going to be fitted in the next few weeks then I have to tackle the wiring.
Also picked up my new seats that Andy had been holding for me for a while, can't wait to get these fitted.

It's going in the long-wheelbase now
the extra torque and power will be better on road as the lwb is going to be a daily drive.

Nice. Still not sure which way to go regarding engine swap, so I'll be watching these swaps with interest.

Maybe someday I'll have both finished so can compare side by side, the 1.6 16v is a much cheaper and simpler conversion but I want to do the J20a because I haven't seen it done in the UK yet.....
